Sunday evening at 6:03pm marked the official start of winter, but mother nature isn’t paying attention to the calendar.

Environment Canada says that we can expect some un-Christmas-like weather for the first few days of winter, as milder weather will settle into the region.

Some rain is likely on Tuesday as a developing low pressure system over the American Midwest tracks towards the Great Lakes.

Mild, rainy weather is expected again on Christmas Eve with temperatures reaching the high single digits in many areas with some locales nudging into the low teens.

On Christmas Day, mother nature will offer a meager attempt at a white Christmas in many areas as the disturbance over the Great Lakes intensifies and heads into Northern Ontario. Cooler temperatures, strong winds and some flurries are likely, but they say not to expect much if any accumulation for a white Christmas.
